My Favorite DIY Christmas Decoration-- an Extrawide Red & White Bow!!

by Restoring our Victorian House

Tie a wide ribbon around your throw pillows for a quick and easy holiday transformation. Or, do it my way and make your own two-tone ribbon… (But do yourself a favor and DO NOT ASK your husband to help you cut the fabric or you will end up with a pile of unusable scrap!) http://victoriaelizabethbarnes.com/diy-bow-for-christmas-decorating/
